How they read
In their own wordsPale Powder No. 204 is Farrow & Ball's most popular shade of aqua, a lighter version of the archived Powder Blue. The brand says it has an unparalleled softness.
Calke Green takes its name from the breakfast room at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire, and it has the settled, slightly faded quality of a color that has been on a wall for two hundred years. It is a mid-tone green with enough grey to stay calm and enough yellow to stay warm — the green of gardens rather than forests.
